Slacking off, slacking off, or just playing around? Cross-border sellers, you are on the verge of being persuaded to quit!

Slacking off, slacking off, or just playing around? Cross-border sellers, you are on the verge of being persuaded to quit!


For cross-border sellers, Prime Day is the midterm exam and Black Friday is the final exam.


Now that the "midterm exam" has been postponed to September, and the epidemic and riots in the United States have escalated, the American market has almost been abandoned by some Amazon operating companies, and Amazon employees are left with nowhere to go.
 
Some sellers complained that their workdays were like years of suffering, while others cried that they had been forced out by the company's fancy tricks...
              

Sellers, is it painful to go to work every day now?


An Amazon operator asked: Are there many people working at Amazon who are like me and feel a little torture going to work every day?
              

Then he listed his inner thoughts when he was working every day↓↓↓

  • Single -digit orders per day ;

  • There are no orders and I don’t know what to do;

  • There is no commission for salary payment;

  • I want to quit but I am afraid I can’t find a better job;

  • I felt irritated when I arrived at the office.

            
As soon as this seller made his statement, it immediately resonated with a large number of sellers!

Many sellers said: Are you another me in a parallel world?
There are also sellers "begging": Are you there? Can you please remove the camera?

Then the sellers began to speak anxiously↓↓↓

Seller A 1 minute ago

I always thought I could hold on until the end of April, maybe it would be better in May, but now it's already June, and 2020 is almost halfway through! Every day when I come to the company, I feel uncomfortable all over, and I feel exhausted sitting at my workstation. Looking at the Amazon interface, I can yawn several times in a row...


Seller B 1 minute ago

I started slacking off at work, browsing various forums and chatting in the seller communication group. I refreshed my orders from time to time, and if there was no increase, I continued browsing the forums and chatting.


Seller C 1 minute ago

Just now, I felt inexplicably irritated and even wanted to resign. But then I thought about not even having a basic salary after resigning. Sigh, this is the adult world.


Seller D 1 minute ago

I feel so uncomfortable every day and I am so busy performing without physical objects! When will the next season of "This is the Actor" be open for registration?


Seller E 1 minute ago

Have you ever experienced the horror of being dominated by journaling? Creating something out of nothing?



             
 
You have nothing to do, but you can't let people see that you have nothing to do. So at this stage, paddling, playing soy sauce, fishing, and performing without physical objects are the daily work of some sellers.
             
 
Of course, some sellers also said that they have a lot of things to do every day, such as organizing previous reviews, making adjustments, optimizing advertisements, listings and pictures, finding evaluation resources, and preparing copywriting and picture materials that will be needed to put products on the shelves in the future.
 
Some sellers also said: It’s good enough to just do nothing and get a basic salary. I’ll just keep persisting silently. As long as I’m not fired, there is hope.
Because of the company’s various tactics to dissuade sellers, some sellers are no longer qualified to receive a basic salary!
 

Cross-border companies force employees to leave in various ways


Previously, I wrote an article titled "Using the epidemic to sell misery丨A Shenzhen retailer with annual sales of 800 million yuan owes wages and forces employees to resign!" to expose the various practices of a cross-border company in forcing employees to resign. Nowadays, it is not uncommon for cross-border companies to persuade employees to resign in disguise.
 
             
 
One seller said that he worked in a distribution company, and the risk of infringement was high, so a new policy was introduced: the sales of the suspended site will be deducted from the profits of the suspended site! That is, if there is $2,000 in the account, and it is suspended, then $2,000 will be deducted from the seller's profit in the next month, and the seller will be compensated when the site is restored.
 
Some sellers have analyzed this: If you select products and operate the business yourself, if there is infringement, the business operator needs to bear the corresponding responsibility. But if the business operator does not select products, the blame should not be borne by the business operator. If you make money, you bear 5% commission, and if you lose money, you are 100% responsible. The boss will make a profit without loss?
 
             
 
This kind of routine to force employees to quit is not uncommon. After listening to the above sellers' stories, sellers took over and complained about the BT routines they encountered↓↓↓
Sellers summarize company routines

1. According to the company's regulations, there is an audit and scoring system, so everyone's base salary will be deducted by about 500 yuan every month because of the scoring.

 

2. The boss will falsify the cost of the product, and the logistics fee will be twice as high (compared to the quotes of freight forwarders on the market, twice as expensive), and then we have to calculate the profit according to their quotes. It is really a waste of time. Is the calculated profit useful?

 

3. The commission plan changes once a month. Seeing that employees can get more commissions, we quickly work out a plan that allows employees to get less commissions.

 

4. It is mandatory to work overtime for at least 40 hours a month. Performance evaluation is required. If it is not enough, the salary will be deducted. If commission is required, a lot of internal control costs must be deducted from the profit. Operations is often blamed. Anyway, there are too many graduates who are being ripped off.

 

5. Employees are required to use their ID cards to register the company as legal person. If they don’t do so, they will be punished.


The above are just some of the complaints from sellers. Some companies have always had this system, and the sellers who have fallen into the trap are speechless, but some companies are taking advantage of the current situation to intensify the exploitation of employees and persuade employees to quit, which is really "painstaking".
 
Some enthusiastic people have directly made a "Cross-border E-commerce Company Avoidance Summary Table" , and now there are more than 500 companies on the table...
 
             
 
I believe that the above situations can more or less resonate with the relevant sellers: it turns out that I am not the only one who has had such an experience, which is a little comforting.

There may be sellers who feel they should just sit back and do their business, but after reading this article they become anxious. However, this article only reveals a sinister corner of society.
 
I hope that the sellers who are still slacking off can cheer up and learn more about operation knowledge. If you are really bored, just browse the AMZ 123 cross-border navigation!

Sellers who feel they are on the verge of being persuaded to withdraw can also negotiate with the company in an open and honest manner to find reasonable and legal solutions and overcome the difficulties together.
 
You must keep up the good work, everyone!

Everyone is welcome to complain about the company’s various tactics of persuading employees to quit in the comment section, and together we can expose the ugly face of unscrupulous companies!
